While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[North King]

An Open Letter to North King:

I see that you have successfully completed your N3S Update before I have completed my own. I concede defeat in this matter.

However.

I'm by no means cowed by this setback. I'll challenge you to another race, double or nothing. I will complete not only this current update, but three more updates of GalaxyNES before you are able to release a single update of your own.

Do you accept this updating duel?

-Lord_Iggy

Your challenge may seem ludicrously skewed towards me to others. But I am not fooled. Your NES has no stats, few orders, and the updates run much less than a third as long as End of Empires' do on average.

And yet, for all of that, I am nothing if not a thrill seeker, and a good challenge sounds entertaining.

I accept.

-yours truly,
NK

 

[Kentharu]

This is so exciting.

 

[Terrance888]

Ho boy. I'm placing bets on North King, because he can update in less than a month if he REALLY tries.

 

[Tee Kay]

5 ducats on Lord Iggy.

 

[Terrance888]

I raise you 12 Talers for Lord North.

 

[Anonymoose]

You're all mad. The devastation from this squabble may very well wreck our happy little realm. We're all most certainly doomed.

[Lord_Iggy]

It's on. I will post the first of these four updates tonight.

We can finish it tonight right guys?

Life-Savings bet on Iggy.

 

[SKILORD]

I think its going to require more out of your players than you anticipate, especially with a straight story game like Galaxy. (like, if spyro tried to do multiple quick updates for eternal myth, it would never work. I haven't been playing Galaxy but mike has talked my ear off about it.

And he has, for instance, moved to the sticks (in the sense that Greensboro is a reasonable urban center) I'm unclear if he even has internet anymore. OTOH I know him to be fanatical about the One. 2 rapidfire Updates from now I predict player revolt for Iggy. The fourth update will be all NPC's.

My money's on NK.

You have no idea how GalaxyNES is or the player base. :3

 

[Adrogans]

Feel like Iggy has a slight edge...but NK when he's hyped can be awsome. Pity I just can't seem to get into either NES.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Wait who is Mike? Also SKILORD, I invite you to join.

 

[Adrogans]

I think he accidentally said Spry's real name.

 

[Luckymoose]

I think he accidentally said Spry's real name.

I'll tell you everyone's real name.

 

[SKILORD]

No, it was Freeman's real name.

Granted, I do have only a limited concept of how either game works. Y'all could be real activist about it, then it would be easy for Iggy.

If we don't have time for stories Iggy is usually good about hearing us out on #nes during the update process. He can update without stories at all, but that isn't as fun.

 

[Thlayli]

While Iggy is precocious...and certainly a good updater...

My money is on NK, because I would never presume to favor a mere Lord over a KING.

 

[spryllino]

Haha none of you know my real name and it isn't Mike.
